Tank vs. Tankless Water Heaters: What’s Best for Nevada Homes?
Choosing the right water heater can impact your energy bill, comfort, and home value — especially in the dry climate of southern Nevada. But should you go with a traditional tank system or a modern tankless unit? Here’s a quick breakdown to help you decide:
Tank Water Heaters: Reliable and Affordable
Pros:
- Lower upfront cost
- Simple to install
- Great for homes with steady water usage
Cons:
- Limited hot water supply
- Takes up more space
- Shorter lifespan (8–12 years)
Tankless Water Heaters: Efficient and Space-Saving
Pros:
- Endless hot water on demand
- Energy-efficient (only heats when needed)
- Compact design saves space
- Longer lifespan (15–20 years)
Cons:
- Higher initial cost
- May require electrical or gas upgrades
What We Recommend for Nevada Homes
If you live in a multi-person household or want lower utility bills, a tankless system may be worth the investment. For smaller homes or short-term stays, a tank system might be more practical.
